What the hell is this if not a den of dragons and tigers?

At this moment, Qi Yuan's expression was a bit subtle.

After Old Man Shi's explanation, he had more or less figured out what the path of the heavenly dao was all about.

The key to the so-called perfect Breakthrough method was to add a strand of Heavenly Dao Qi during the Breakthrough.

He himself was the best example; originally, he could only form a Divine Radiance Nascent Soul, but later, through a reward from the System, he obtained a strand of Heavenly Dao Karma Qi, allowing him to achieve a Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul.

The reason others couldn't do it sometimes wasn't a matter of Aptitude or Legacy, but simply a lack of this strand of Heavenly Dao Qi.

Similarly, it didn't mean that if you hadn't achieved a perfect Breakthrough before, you could never achieve one in the future.

When Qi Yuan himself broke through to Foundation Establishment and Golden Core, they weren't perfect Breakthroughs at all, but that didn't prevent him from attaining a Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul.

Therefore, even if someone knew nothing about the path of the heavenly dao, they might still obtain Heavenly Dao Qi by chance and achieve a perfect Breakthrough.

Although one or two perfect Breakthroughs wouldn't lead to a smooth Immortal Ascension, perfect was perfect; it would always be far stronger than being imperfect!

If the Killing Life Daoist truly possessed the Myriad Tribulations Deity Transformation, he would certainly be far stronger than an ordinary Soul Transformation Cultivator. Combined with a demonic sword, fighting above his level would be a simple matter.

Tu Ruoxu and Zhuang Qingyun clearly didn't understand the path of the heavenly dao, which was why they focused on the Killing Life Daoist's Legacy—this was the effect of an information gap.

What Qi Yuan cared about was the source of the Killing Life Daoist's Heavenly Dao Qi.

Heavenly Dao Qi was divided into two types: one was Heavenly Dao Karma Qi, and the other was heavenly dao creation qi.

A person who killed and committed evil every day couldn't possibly have Heavenly Dao Karma Qi. This meant the Killing Life Daoist most likely achieved his perfect Soul Transformation through heavenly dao creation qi.

Although Creation Qi sounded profound and unpredictable, there were still traces to follow.

Simply put, as long as something was high-end and grand enough, it would naturally carry Creation Qi.

This meant that the Killing Life Daoist possessed at least one extremely precious treasure of heaven and earth!

After pondering for a moment, Qi Yuan still had doubts and asked tentatively:

"Fellow Daoist Tu, Fellow Daoist Zhuang, with the power of your Wangu Holy Land and Boundless Holy Land, you shouldn't need my help for something like this, right?"

It was just a Loose Cultivator's Immortal Cave. Any few elders from their Sects could easily turn the place upside down; there was no need for a dignified Dao Child to take action personally.

However, Tu Ruoxu sighed and shook his head, explaining:

"To be honest, I only had a rough guess at the beginning. Later, I asked some Sect elders to search that area thoroughly."

"Several elders searched for months and performed many calculations before they finally managed to confirm the exact location of the Killing Life Daoist's Immortal Cave."

"The Killing Life Daoist himself knew he had committed many injustices and made countless enemies, so he set his Immortal Cave in the endless void outside this world."

Qi Yuan nodded thoughtfully. Indeed, some eccentric experts liked to move their Immortal Caves beyond the heavens and live their lives behind closed doors.

The Killing Life Daoist had wiped out countless Sects and made unknown numbers of enemies, and was even hunted by the Seven Great Holy Lands. If he didn't hide in the endless void, he probably wouldn't even be able to sleep soundly.

Tu Ruoxu continued to explain:

"Due to years of neglect, that grotto-heaven has long been eroded by void storms. The internal spatial rules are extremely fragmented and cannot withstand the entry of Cultivators with high cultivation; otherwise, it would immediately collapse and be annihilated."

"According to calculations, the spatial rules inside the Immortal Cave can at most withstand no more than three Cultivators in the Nascent Soul Realm."

"Therefore, our Wangu Holy Land first sent a team of True Disciples at the Nascent Soul Peak to explore. However, after only half a day, the soul lamps of those three fellow Disciples were all extinguished, and there was no further news."

Tu Ruoxu sighed, seeming quite regretful.

"To find out what happened inside, the Holy Land sent another three Disciples skilled in life-saving techniques, but... they also perished."

Qi Yuan immediately gasped upon hearing this.

"If this damn place isn't a dragon's den or a tiger's lair, what is?"

"You fellow actually have the nerve to invite me to go with you; you aren't trying to set me up, are you?"

"After losing so many elite Disciples in succession, my Sect Head strictly forbade anyone else from going to the Killing Life Daoist's Immortal Cave to throw their lives away."

As he spoke, Tu Ruoxu's expression gradually became serious:

"I can understand my Revered Master's good intentions, but just because of one idea of mine, so many elite Disciples of the Sect were killed. My conscience is still troubled even now."

"After reflecting on the painful lesson, I spent several years designing a complete set of risk-response plans specifically for that dangerous place, which can absolutely guarantee the safety of those who enter."

"But because Revered Master had issued a strict order, I really couldn't get anyone else from the Wangu Holy Land. Fortunately, I have Fellow Daoist Zhuang's support and trust, and he agreed to go on this adventure with me."

Beside him, Zhuang Qingyun smiled proudly and said passionately:

"Senior Brother Tu is exhaustive in his calculations and possesses unparalleled wisdom. He has the reputation of being the [star of wisdom]. No matter how great the difficulty, I believe he can handle it calmly."

"We Cultivators are like boats sailing against the current; if we don't advance, we retreat. As a Dao Child, I should forge ahead and do what others cannot. How can I shrink back just because of a little danger?"

"As the saying goes, 'If Heaven offers and you do not take, you will instead be blamed.'"

"Just as I was preparing to break through to Soul Transformation, Senior Brother Tu brought news of the Myriad Tribulations Deity Transformation. This must be an Opportunity bestowed upon me by the heavens. If I don't seize it, I will surely regret it for the rest of my life."

Qi Yuan's eyelids twitched as he listened.

What 'star of wisdom'!

If these two guys hadn't been clever enough to pin the blame for the rumors on Ji Tianpeng, I might have actually believed it.

If I were foolish enough to follow them, I'm afraid nine lives wouldn't be enough for them to ruin!

Although treasures of heaven and earth are tempting, one must be alive to enjoy them.

I have the System with me and just made a big profit; there's no need to risk my life.

At this time, Tu Ruoxu smiled slightly and said seriously:

"Fellow Daoist Qi was able to suppress Ji Tianpeng, who is at the Early Stage of Soul Transformation, while only in the Nascent Soul Realm. With such shocking talent, you are fully qualified to travel with us."

"If we gain anything, you will naturally get a share, Fellow Daoist. What do you say?"

As he spoke, Tu Ruoxu looked at Qi Yuan expectantly, appearing certain that he would agree.

"Unexpectedly," a certain someone shook his head and refused without hesitation:

"Sorry, This Qi has no interest in this and does not wish to participate. Farewell!"

After speaking, he actually turned and left without looking back.

"Fellow Daoist Qi..."

Zhuang Qingyun was about to step forward, but Tu Ruoxu reached out to stop him.

This left Zhuang Qingyun somewhat confused:

"Senior Brother Tu, even if he doesn't agree, we should tell him to keep it a secret. How can we just let him leave like that?"

Tu Ruoxu smiled faintly and said meaningfully:

"Don't worry, he will change his mind."

"Huh?"

Zhuang Qingyun was stunned. "Didn't he refuse very decisively? Why would he change his mind?"

Tu Ruoxu explained unhurriedly:

"The Dao Child of Tai Xuan's relationship with us is just average, so he naturally won't believe whatever others say. Therefore, he will definitely go and verify the truth of this matter himself."

"When he learns of the Killing Life Daoist's fearsomeness, he will inevitably yearn for the Myriad Tribulations Deity Transformation and take the initiative to come back and team up with us."

"We just need to wait patiently..."

"So that's how it is!"

Zhuang Qingyun came to a sudden realization and said with admiration, "So Senior Brother Tu had already calculated everything. Truly farsighted!"
